Current ranking of the church, created by the first High Prelate Thoak Goldhand during the seperation of the Frostbeard from the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. This was created in hopes it could bring back traditions back when the Frostbeard rebellion created Kaz’Ulrah during 1626 where independence was declared so was the Clergy Ar Yemarin Anaros formed.
High Prelate - The overseer of all affairs within the Dwarven Church
Prelate - Responsible for their own order within the Clergy, overseeing all which is under them in their order following only the High Prelate and the Brathmordakin
Minister - Second to the Prelate, This role within the Clergy is responsible for leading the Clergy in prayer, holy rites, and presiding over oaths to make them official.

Preacher - The lowest rank of the Clergy, someone who shows they have interest in spreading the word of the Brathmordakin who will also help in holy festivals and participate in Holy rites.
Newer system to be placed in Ar Yemarin Anaros in 1692, under the leadership of the reigning regent of the Order, Dutesli Treebeard designed to bring back equality to the dwarven Church and to make it more simple than the current one. This is based upon the ranking system of the old Clergy from the days of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan.
High Prelate - Overseer of all affairs within the Dwarven Church
Prelate - A dwarf who knows of all of the seven Gods in the Brathmordakin, proven dwarfs who have been given the rank of Prelate to teach the younger and to remind the old, someone who can lead their own holy rites and in prayer.
Priest - Any dwarf who wishes to spread and learn of the Brathmordakin, to be a religious figure who has an above average knowledge of all the Gods within the Brathmordakin, who brings honor to its name and makes their choices to please the Brathmordakin. They can lead their own prayer.
Initiates - Those who are still learning about the Brathmordakin, any dwarf can take this rank within the Clergy as long as it has been approved by the High Prelate or any Prelate, who will then take charge in educating the new Initiate..
With the implementation of this new system,all the current Orders within the Clergy will be disbanded to make things run smoothly and to allow all within to work together to use their knowledge for everyone’s benefit. All Preachers, Deacons and Ministers will become Priests within the Clergy showing that they are all equal and are proven dwarfs to the Clergy and to the Brathmordakin.
Prelates
Most of the Prelates will maintain their rank of Prelate removing only Dor Irongut from being the rank of Prelate and returning the rank of Priest to him. All Prelates are now required to know of all seven Gods in the Brathmordakin.
